Type 10 mbt family - five years of abysmal driving characteristics

The Type 10 was introduced in the “Winged Lions” update five years ago, and almost nothing has changed since then. The way Type 10 and Tkx moves feels rather unnatural, and after dozens of reports about it, almost everything has been ignored as usual.

The most annoying part of driving type 10 family is how thay brake - they brake too fast (compared to the other mbts) and after one it stops (in some cases) for even more than half a second without ability to move at all. There are many videos on various sites showing how Type 10 brakes and it in fact brakes sharply but I have never seen one do it so fast like it does in the game. The second most annoying thing is how type 10 turns - it feels like a brick with godly gripinnes (it doesn’t drift like the other mbts). On turns it losses a lot of speed and very frequently it stops leaving you defensless on the field.

I am comparing mostly Type 10 and T-80 because they are the most similar Mbts when it comes to the weight

  • Very odd turning while on a little step


(This abomination was recorded while writing this) It was circling like that in last reverse gear which shouldn’t have happened.

When it came out in 2021, Type 10 had A LOT of bugs that made it impossible to play normaly. Its suspension jumped when lowered and it made it impossible to achieve max speed. That issue was fixed ALMOST 3 YEARS (in Update “seek and destroy”) after introduce and that should tell how much Gaijin cares about bugs involving Mbts of smaller nations. I have over 400 battles in type 10 and it makes me sad how much developers avoid fixing it and ignore players wanting to make a change.

As of now on the dev server, Type 10 had fire control system and power system installed which is a good addition but it would be wonderful if the physics of driving were fixed though.

  • Power system (System zasilania)

Type 10 and TKX have horrible mobility issues, and even without those, their mobility performance is extremely bad compared to IRL(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I73IaB9MVgs).
Additionally, their armor is basically nonexistent, even tanks at br 10.3 can penetrate it frontally.
My experience with them compared to Type 90 is terrible and disappointing.
